Beautiful sound in a contemporary design

It's a good successor to previous Soundsticks. The lighting is a nice bonus, and the sound is, as expected, good. Installation isn't very complicated, but the manual is sometimes a bit lacking. I had some minor issues, such as no sound coming through or the volume adjustments. But with a bit of searching online, I managed to figure them out. The device is supported by an app. I personally prefer to be able to control everything through the device, but that's not always the case here. Fortunately, many basic functions are also supported on the right speaker. I'm curious how the app works and how well it supports me after many years. My "old" Soundsticks are almost 20 years old and still in use, although I've had to replace the power supply a few times. With these Soundsticks, the power supply is integrated into the device, so it can only be replaced by repair. I can't yet comment on the durability of the Soundsticks 5.

What a futuristic design! Light shows give the music a completely different dimension. The colors are customizable, and the speakers are easy to control, either manually or via the Harman Kardon Zone app. The sound quality is excellent. The system connects easily via Bluetooth, but you can connect two devices simultaneously. I'd like more, but it's fine. You can connect the system to multiple speakers via Auracast. Another nice addition is the HDMI port. This allows you to easily connect it to your TV, for example, and have it play along with what's playing on it. The price is definitely a drawback, though. As mentioned, the design is futuristic, but I don't think it will look good in every interior.

Beautiful but very inconvenient

Loud bass
Nice sound
Beautiful design
Plastic exterior

The design is beautiful, the bass is loud and clear, and the sound has good stereo separation for a surround-sound effect. It took almost an hour to connect to my PC via Bluetooth; I have no idea why, but that usually works fine. The bass is very strong, and even at the lowest setting, the floor and table vibrate. The LED lights don't glow yellow properly and often appear green or white. The app is also too basic and not comprehensive enough for what some people want. The exterior is made of plastic, which will likely get dirty and damaged quickly. For this price point, a glass exterior doesn't seem like a luxury. The cables aren't very long, making it difficult to position properly. A TV stand doesn't have enough space, and a dining table will immediately take up space. It's also just a bit too big to fit in a cupboard.
